An issue occurs where the Alerts default data store does not store consul variables in the credentials service when you do either of the following:

• Upgrade from SAS^® Visual Investigator 10.6 or SAS^® Visual Investigator 10.7 to SAS^® Visual Investigator 10.8 Hot Fix 15.
• Migrate to the SAS^® Viya^® platform.

This issue occurs because the wrong credential value is saved in the default Alerts. During upgrades, older stored values are not automatically corrected, which leads to inconsistency. As a result, these issues occur due to mismatches between the DataHub internal database and the credentials service, particularly involving internal data stores such as the following: DEFAULT_STORE, ALERT_STORE, or AI_USER_DATA_STORE.

Workaround

To work around this issue, do either of the following. 

Repair Data Stores Using the DataHub API

Run the DataHub repair endpoint: 

PUT /svi-datahub/admin/dataStores/repair/{dataStoreName}

Use the Data Store Repair Script

The Datastore Repair script enables you to do the following:

• Identify mismatches.
• Generate repair commands for the affected Data Store Repair script.

SAS Visual Investigator Hot Fix 18 fully addresses the credential handling and normalization issue.
